About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the utility deposit bond actually does

Albany Utilities is the municipal utility of the City of Albany, Georgia. To open certain commercial or higher-risk accounts, it can require a security deposit against unpaid bills. A surety bond is an accepted alternative to handing the city cash.

The bond is written to Albany Utilities / the City of Albany (the obligee) for the deposit amount it set. If the account goes unpaid and the utility suffers a loss up to the bond amount, it can recover against the bond instead of drawing down a cash deposit.

It frees up your working capital — you pay a premium starting from $100 rather than parking the full deposit with the city. If the surety ever pays the utility, you repay the surety. Accounts kept current treat the bond as a one-time formality.
